drendan,

I do not carry spec's around in my head but a couple of things pop up:

1) Start with your motherboard and make sure that it accepts and supports the RAM and CPU that you have selected.

2) Is the case physically big enough for all that you have?

3) CPU cooler must fit the CPU's requirements.

4) The PSU wattage appears low for your planned devices. Add up the working wattages and add some wattage for extra margin.

5) I would also go with a second SSD for storage versus the WD HDD. More expensive but requires less power and will be faster. 7200 rpm HDD will probably slow everything down. Maybe an external USB 3.0 drive connection instead.

Just some immediate thoughts....

You may need some internal cables to make all of the connections: e.g. power, audio, SATA....
